Springer, Nathan
The Springer lab focuses on studying the genetic and epigenetic
mechanisms that lead to variation in gene expression levels. Genetic
changes can lead to altered gene expression through variation in
cis-acting or trans-acting factors. Epigenetic mechanisms of gene
regulation are not based on sequence specific regulation. The molecular
basis of epigenetic regulation occurs through the modification of
chromatin states, such as DNA methylation or histone modifications.
